And yet Portsmouth is a difficult place to go to apparently

Perhaps they mean due to road works!

Perhaps because they beat us 4-1 in our last visit there. Dummy

Can confirm - there's always road works going on down here.

Just what I was about to say. It's blatantly obvious the underlying numbers dont lie and over the season

Top 3 will be Ipswich/Southampton and Coventry. These stats tell a story.

We really do need to get about 9 points ahead of Southampton before they sort their shit out.

I think Leicester's stats are more interesting. Perhaps a case of over-performing? Will be interesting to see what happens with them, especially once the inevitable injuries hit.

Leicester's attacking stats are showing their dependency on long range shots, from Fatawu, Mavididi and James

Mavididi hasn't scored this season but yeah how many goals is it from outside the box this season for them? 6? Out of a total of 13.

Close them down early and you're limiting them massively. On the whole it's not a particularly difficult threat to stamp out really either.

stats are not showing the fact , that not only are we first in most, we are really a whole division ahead
If we dont score in the next 6 we will probably still be top scorers!!
if we lose the next 6 3-0 we will still be top half and have a positive goal difference

We just have to enjoy it. We will inevitably lose games this season and have a sticky patch. We may also not have the legs to keep up with autos contention but we’re clearly a very good team for this level and are going to have a great season.

also we have played 3 games against top 8 teams and got 7 points
if we had lost them all
Leicester would be on 17 points
Millwall would be on 17 points
Qpr would be on 18 points
we would be on 12 points

we are picking up some very good results against some very good teams

As I stated on post 27 here

Same Stage Last Season

There were 2 teams on 19pts. City had 8 points and had a -3 GD
www.skybluestalk.co.uk
Leicester would be on 18. They are on 16 now, they would have got 2 extra points if they beat us.

we get the seal of approval from well-known Cov fan, Don 'Covuntree ' Goodman hahahaha

Goodman says City now have a “massive” chance to pull away and put a bit of distance between themselves and their promotion rivals.

“When I look at their next five fixtures, I see a real opportunity for them to maybe put daylight between themselves and a lot of the other chasers, really,” he said. “With respect to these teams, they’re going to play Blackburn, Portsmouth, Watford, Wrexham and Sheffield United.

“The highest team of those six is Watford, who are 10th in the table. So it’s the here and now for Coventry. This is a massive, massive chance, and if they keep going the way they are, I could see them having a bit of a cushion once those six games are done.”

is this the kiss of death?, or does ole Don talk sense for once?

It's a bit worrying that he thinks Blackburn, Portsmouth, Watford, Wrexham, and Sheffield. Utd is 6 games

Ipswich will definitely climb the table but I don’t think Southampton will. I think they will sack their manager. I just don’t think they are playing as expected

Even if Southampton pick up form, I doubt it lasting... and, therefore, Will Still sack him.

Clear evidence to target Cantwell. He gives the ball away once in every 4 passes.

I genuinely see our unbeaten streak coming to an end against the blunts! Maybe that's the old cynic in me, but I can see us doing well til that point. We always seem to gift teams that are struggling with a simple 3 points that seem to turn their fortunes and seasons round.

It annoys me how he says coventry. What also annoys me, surprisingly, as its of no concern to me at all so not sure why it bothers me, but commentators that pronounce Birmingham, Birminum. Clinton Morrison is one of these.

I like Grimes' position on there. Balanced between keeping possession and recycling the ball with being very progressive. As others have said, the linchpin. Knitting together the back 4 to the front 4

Colleague of mine saw Stamenic the other week vs Leicester. Said he was good but all about defending…his passing was “not great”.
